Guess who's landed Down Under? 🇦🇺 Britain's King Charles III and Queen Camilla have just touched down in a rainy Sydney, kicking off a landmark tour that's got everyone buzzing! ⚡️
The royal couple, both looking thrilled despite the showers ☔️, were greeted by local dignitaries and adorable kids bearing colorful flowers 🌸. Talk about a warm (and slightly wet) welcome!
First stop: a meet-up with Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner, Jodie Haydon, at the picturesque Admiralty House 🏛️ overlooking the iconic Sydney Harbour and Opera House 🎭. That's where the royals will be calling home for the next few days.
This visit marks King Charles's first trip to an overseas realm as sovereign 🌟, and he's set to make it count! Over the next nine days, they'll be exploring Australia and Samoa 🌴, hitting up famous landmarks, enjoying a classic Aussie barbecue 🍖, and shining a light on important climate challenges 🌏.
Earlier, the king and queen took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) 📱, sharing, \"We are really looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special.\" ❤️
Stay tuned, mates! This royal adventure is just getting started, and we can't wait to see what surprises await! 🎉👑
